Diego

Meet Diego, the latest member of our family! He is about two years old and was living at Toronto Animal Services for one month. Laura and I began looking at adoptable dogs about three weeks ago, but after noticing some of the ones we liked were not listed a few days later -- they had been placed in a home -- I stopped looking. I had no intentions of getting hooked on a dog only to find it was long gone by adoption day.

While Laura was in New York last week, she was checking the site and had her eye on Diego.

When she returned, we decided he was the one. There is no way to put a dog "on hold", so we hoped that he would not be snapped up before we could get there. ... And we got him!

Diego is playful, curious, and very happy. Tala hasn't missed a beat. She and Diego got along great at the shelter, and they have been wrestling and romping both in and out of the house since we got home.

The Tribe is a reference to my college--William & Mary, founded in 1693. They started out as the Indians (they actually were a college for Indians at some time), but later changed their nickname to the Tribe.

Also - just got back to S.F. from seeing two games in Anaheim. There were 40,100 fans at the game and I swear 40,000 were Red Sox fans. Don't know if you could tell on the radio/t.v. how mighty the presence of Red Sox Nation was in the stadium.
